Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the GFC or greater common factor of two numbers, is the greater number that is a factor of both numbers.

So, if we have:

`8x\ and\ 40`

The GFC of both will be number 8:

`\frac {8} {8} = 1\\\frac {40} {8} = 5`

The 8 is the largest number that divides both.
